20 Yummy Homemade Ice Cream Sandwich Recipes

by craftmin | January 20, 2018

Something must be wrong if you don’t agree that ice cream sandwiches are a blessing. Two soft cookies sandwiching your favourite ice cream—now that’s something great, right? All the more reason to fill the refrigerator with a bunch of these yummy treats. In fact, you can make your own Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches and there are a lot of recipes to try, which you can check out below. But before that, let’s learn first how to make a basic one.

Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches

It’s amazing how you can feel young again with a simple bite of an ice cream sandwich. But homemade ice cream sandwiches aren’t that easy to perfect. First, you have the cookies – they crumble if they’re too thin and are hard to munch if they’re too thick. The right kinds of cookies we’re looking for should magically soften as they chill. Freezing them is the key, after constructing the sandwiches and before eating!

For the ice cream, buy your chosen flavor from the store, make room in your freezer or refrigerator, and—time to visit the past—freeze it again. Nothing tastes good about nostalgia.

When choosing the layers of your ice cream, select whatever flavor you like provided that it’s the real thing: ice cream, sorbet, Gelato, or frozen yogurt. Choose two flavors. The combination shouldn’t only appeal to your taste buds but also provide a nice color contrast. Cherry and Pistachio, Salted Caramel and Chocolate, Coconut and Coffee, and Mango and Vanilla are pairings that taste great together.

Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches – Basic Recipe

What you need are thick and chewy cookies. This recipe uses chewy double chocolate cookies. Freeze these cookies to make them almost like a brownie. Instead of breaking, they will buckle slowly and will be absolutely mouthwatering when eaten.

Are the cookies you need all set? Then, you can choose an ice cream to match – this recipe, however, uses mint chocolate chips. Scoop big ice cream balls onto parchment paper on a baking sheet. Use more parchment paper to cover, then flatten the ice cream balls gently to match the cookies’ diameter.

Was that it? Well, yup! Wrap them in parchment or plastic, freeze them, and enjoy eating them later. Make sure that they’re wrapped well, or else the ice cream could pick up undesirable flavor from the refrigerator or freezer. You can also eat them right away!

Here’s one recipe that you might want to try.

Homemade Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

This recipe will take 40 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook, so you’ll need to be a little bit patient to enjoy this.

Directions

Step 1 – Making Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Add the sugars and butter to a large deep dish, and beat until fluffy, creamy, and light with a hand blender. Add the salt, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat again, on medium, to mix well..

In a separate deep dish, whisk together the baking soda, flour and cocoa powder.

Set the hand blender to low, carefully add the dry ingredients to the wet scraping down the sides of the deep dish as needed All that’s left to do is to blend to combine everything.

Scoop the cookie batter using a rounded tablespoon and drop onto baking sheets. Bake until the top of the cookies are dry and they’re a bit puffed (may take 9-12 minutes). Wait for 5 minutes to cool on the baking sheets then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 2 – Preparing Ice Cream

For the time being, line a pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Scoop 10 balls of ice cream—at least 3 tbsp. for every scoop. (You should have 10 sandwiches in this recipe. If you end up with 20 cookies or more, accommodate by scooping additional ice cream).

Use another sheet of parchment paper to cover your ice cream, then slowly press the ice cream down so that they’re the diameter of the cookies. In case the melting of the ice cream occurs, move baking sheet to the freezer to firm it up for 5-10 minutes.

Step 3 – Wrapping It Up

Sandwich one flattened ice cream ball with two cookies. Wrap it with parchment paper, plastic or foil, and then freeze it up for about 3 months.

But you’re not limited to that recipe only. Why not try other delicious homemade ice cream sandwiches using the recipes below?
